Quotes of the MatchTCU Director of Volleyball Jill KramerOpening Statement"I think our players came just to get after it from the get-go tonight. I think they played with a lot of confidence and I think they played with a lot of poise. With it being the first match of conference action in the second round and us coming off a bye over the weekend, we spent a lot of time kind of talking about what our actions need to be going into the second round of conference play. They committed to some things and saw them through tonight and that is what great teams do. I think they played point-for-point, they stayed in the moment and I didn't do much. We let them go. This was all them. They did a great job and I am really proud of them.

On the many firsts tonight"I love firsts. I just do. It is why I came to school here because it was the first team and there was a lot of history that was going to be made. There are always firsts to be had and being in such a great league like the Big 12, we have opportunities to play really great teams every night. There is always something different with every team. Jerritt (Elliott) has done such a good job at Texas in building that program and he is someone that I have a lot of respect for and look up to and that is what makes a match like this even sweeter. It is not that we won the match or that we played great, it is that we stepped on the court with a team like Texas and we gave it our best, put some really good strings of points together and were able to come out on top. So that is what makes it a little more sweet I think."
